    Hi. I've tried to find an answer in the forum, but no success so far, so will post my question here.

    I have a standard Acer 2023i which has been working fine for years. Recently it crashed and eventually I had to do a rebuild (including formatting).

    Now, I find that it will crash (loops with blue screen) if wireless is turned on and will boot up fine if wireless if off.

    If I boot it up with wireless off, then turn wireless on (on the front of the keyboard with the button that becomes orange), after 10-15 seconds it crashes.

    Any ideas on how to solve this? Many thanks.
